Something is just inherently wrong with a judicial system that rules against the wishes of a majority of its citizens. It’s simply tyranny by an artificial ruling class. History has shown that such tyranny by the few, leads to rebellion by the many.
False, as stated.
If a majority of your fellow citizens want you shipped off to a re-education camp, and a court rules that it violates your rights, do you REALLY think the majority should prevail?
Fair enough, but let me play devil’s advocate for a second. What if the majority of the citizens suddenly went nuts and decided to pass laws to kill the Jews, or whatever - in other words, a literally murderous tyranny of the majority.
Would you not want the courts to intervene in that case? Or would you be OK with mass murder, sanctioned by popular vote?
I know that’s not the case here, but what I’m saying is that ‘the wishes of a majority’ may not always be enlightened or benevolent in nature.
Like I said, I’m playing devil’s advocate.
Sorry but you want rules applied in a Democracy to be used in our Constitutional Republic.
Remember in OUR system its the Rule of Law that prevails, not Majority Rule.
Now interpretation of that law has definitely become out of whack but just because a supposed majority of people are for or against something does not mean it should be so.
